We all earn our money to live better life but in today livelihood scenario. It is not that easy.This blog will reveal you the facts about working younger easy life and family ship of Seniors.

Seniors
in India are the fastest growing segment of the
population. By
definition, a senior in India is a person who is 60 years old or more.
Currently, there are more than 100 million elderly citizens in the country and
the population is expected to increase by 40% in the period 2000-2050 according
to the United Nations.

Seniors Live Alone

The
Census 2011 data revealed that 15 million senior citizens live alone and of
this figure, 75% are women. Although India is a country that prides itself on
strong & closely knit-families, the statistics show otherwise. More than
50% of households surveyed do not have anyone aged 60 or above living with
them.

Financial Stress

Elderly
people living with a family member have someone helping take care of them. The
socio-economic burden predominantly lies with the son, daughter or relative. In
contrast, seniors living on their own have to be independent and self-reliant
economically and financially. With a majority of the seniors, working is
necessary to sustain themselves and their spouse. The uncertainty of finances contributes to stress and anxiety among the elderly. Tobacco and
alcohol consumption may be a typical response to cope with stress and anxiety.
Grover and Malhotra reviewed data that suggests depression among the elderly is
high associated with aging, unemployment, and poor socioeconomic status.

Dealing with
Financial Stress

Tackling
the problem is essential not only by providing assistance to the
elderly
financially (government or NGO support schemes) but also
mentally and physically to improve their well-being. Promoting health care
policies and programs benefit India’s elderly immensely. Exercising, walking
and meditation can help take off the stress of financial uncertainty. Yoga, in
particular, is viewed as a positive form of reducing stress and anxiety. It
sharpens the mind, improves mood, enhances balance, protects joints and bones
while building strength and endurance to help seniors cope with stressful life
events. Note, however, that although many forms of yoga are perfectly safe,
caution must be exercised with the elderly as it can become a strenuous
activity.
